Welp, guess I better start up the calibre extension to send pocket articles as a file for ebook readers.

I hope they don't remove Mozilla accounts too, I have all my bookmarks and sync between devices there. Zen browser that I use relies on this and I assume other browsers based off Firefox do too. Mozilla does not have a good managing team and they deserve to go down but there should be a transition period.

I never used Pocket itself, but I do like having the grid of news articles on the new tab page, which I believe is powered by Pocket in some shape or form. Anyone know if that feature is going away too?

Mozilla! Stop doing stupid stuff!
i literally JUST installed fakespot lol
I try to support Mozilla (and more obscure open source projects we take for granted) through donations and subscriptions. But I never used Pocket or Fakespot.
I don’t think it should be a forced payment but I’d pay a few bucks a month for a true developer edition. The current one is essentially just the early beta for extension developers but something really developer focused with no bullshit and developer tools at the forefront. I don’t know if that’s something other people would pay for but I feel like it’s easier to shell out cash when I’m using it for work. A lot of people could probably expense it.
It likely wouldn’t replace the Google money but it’d be a start.
I hated it at first but then I started to leave pocket on and click links every now and then since I figured they got revenue out of it. I don't use it often but its a shame to see it go now that I kind of like it.
shame about pocket - wonder how much of a hole that really burned in their pocket - if much
Good.
Good. I've been disabling this shit in about:config for one decade too many.
i used pocket once, and after several steps to activate it, i realized that it was not at all what I thought it was going to be and never touched it again
